Barcelona rival Man Utd for Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic

Barca see the Croatian as an alternative to Borussia Dortmund attacker Ousmande Dembele.

SportItalia says Perisic has emerged as a potential target if Barça fail to land either Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho or the Frenchman.

Perisic, 28, can play as a winger, an attacking midfielder or a secondary striker and is left-footed, with Barça looking to that side of the pitch after Neymar's departure and with Andrés Iniesta unlikely to play every game this season.

The Croatian may be a small step down in quality from Coutinho and Dembélé but the 28-year-old is extremely consistent and chipped in with 11 goals and 11 assists in Serie A last season.
